Nathaniel Hawthorne was fascinated by the dark side of the Puritan mind. His novels, especially the Scarlet Letter (1850) and the House of Seven Gables (1851), dealt with revenge, guilt, and pride. Although he had been involved with Brook Farm and wrote the Blithedale Romance (1852) based on his experiences there, Hawthorne did not share the transcendentalists’ faith in the perfectibility of man.

It is only called Jacksonian “democracy” because it marked a distinct shift from what we call “Jeffersonian democracy.” Jacksonian “democracy” was expansionist — which meant State-sponsored systematic removal and/or killing of Native Americans. The Trail of Tears, for example, occurred on Jackson’s watch. While Jefferson advocated a nation with an agricultural economy and small family farms that were self- and mutually-reliant, Jackson encouraged a more interventionist State. While Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase, Jackson used it to the government’s advantage.Jackson also encourage a cronie system in the government. He thought that it was a good idea for the president to give his friends jobs in the system. It was his way of, as an above commenter stated, empowering the “average white man” by giving him political experience.You are right that Jackson’s system was undemocratic. But Americans have a hard time dealing with the fact that their system has rarely been democratic; only at certain moments, and almost never at the federal level.

Just briefly, the North was more industrialized while the South was mostly agrarian. The South held slaves, and the North had “wage slaves”–people who were free, but worked under conditions in factories and mills that were little better than slavery. The difference was that they were paid (and usually not much) for their labor and at least had the option of taking a better offer if one came along.

Wake up before dawn, get dressed and have a slice of pie, go out and get to work. Eat some lunch, go back to work. Eat supper, tend to his own crops and spend time with the family. Go to bed, get up and do it all again.The laws regarding the use of slaves varied between the states, but most had laws protecting slaves from abusive owners and handlers. Those caught breaking those laws and found guilty, could find their lives ending at the end of a rope.Jobs varied dependent upon the size of the farm their owner had. Smaller farms generally only had one or two slaves and their “masters” generally worked along side the slaves out in the field. The bigger “plantations” often had those tasked with working indoors and those working out in the fields. Slaves usually had their own little shack in which they lived. They were allowed to marry and have families. The more wealthy slave owners often times gave their slaves pocket change so that when they went into town, they could purchase things for themselves or their families. They were also allowed a small plot of land to raise their own crops and livestock.The idea that slaves were constantly beaten, whipped and abused is a false one at best. If you look at things from a business sense, you would want to take care of your property — especially if that property made you money. Beating them, raping the women and selling off the children then, makes no sense. Who would be more productive? A “Happy” slave? Or, one who is either in mourning or is enraged?It’s not to say that the life of a slave was good or easy. But the picture most people have been taught is way off base from the truth. And, when a slave was too old to work, they were either given their freedom, or were allowed to live out the rest of their days on the backside of the farm/plantation, with nothing more being required of them.As much as I “enjoy” the broadcastings of PBS, their “facts” are often amiss. And as for Alex Haley’s “Roots,” that was almost pure fiction.

Antebellum era means before the civil war..the above poster had it mostly right but I think he thought that it was meaning after the civil warSimply..rich, poor, and slave. The plantation owners owned huge areas of land and slaves. They wielded a vast amount of political power. Next were the working class and small farmers. This group ranged from doing fairly well to barely having enough food to survive. The lowest class was of course the slave. They had no money, no land, and no rights.

Well, there are none north of Virginia. There are a bunch near Williamsburg, VA along the James River. And if you google plantation tours, you’ll find a bunch more.
